OpenStack Technical Committee Update: Project Reform Progress Over the last few months, the Technical Committee has been discussing plans to dissolve the binary concept of the integrated release and adapt our projects structure to the future needs of collaborative development in the OpenStack community. A specification was written to describe the rationale for the reform and its goals. In the past weeks, the OpenStack Technical Committee approved a first set of changes, affecting how OpenStack upstream teams and projects developed by our community are organized. Contributing to open cloud projects without losing your mind If you’re interested in contributing to OPNFV, OpenDaylight or OpenStack, there are a few things to keep in mind to make the process easier. Welcome to the wild west of networking and cloud infrastructure It may look like the wild west now, but the future of open networking and cloud infrastructure is bright. That’s the main takeaway from a panel featuring speakers from Red Hat, Ericsson, Cumulus Networks and the OpenStack Foundation moderated by Neela Jacques at the Linux Collaboration Summit. Nice APIs: Limits in OpenStack SDK Brian Curtin has been working with a team on the OpenStack SDK, a project aimed at providing a great experience for Python developers who use OpenStack. He and his colleagues want to enable people to build great things on top of OpenStack and are looking for feedback.

OpenStack crowns “Liberty” its next release name OpenStack’s next release will be called Liberty. While you might be thinking of the word liberty in terms of “freedom” (as in free beer or other things), the name comes from a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Introducing PoshStack, the PowerShell client for OpenStack OpenStack SDKs exist for several programming languages, including Python, Go, Ruby, and many more. For those who don't wish to write code, users in the *nix world can use Curl at the command line to perform operations. What about Microsoft Windows administrators? Windows admins can use PowerShell and PoshStack". How you can help refresh OpenStack’s Documentation site If you’ve checked out the OpenStack Documentation site recently, you may have noticed a new look. The refreshed design of the landing page is the beginning of an ongoing overhaul. The site is, however, open under construction and people are already applauding the refresh. The move to a simpler markup language will go a long way to helping OpenStack contributors work on the documentation that matters to them. GSoC2015: Its time for potential mentors and participants! It is time for us to apply for slots for the annual Google Summer of Code event. Last year, we got a bunch of slots and had awesome projects. We are hoping this year we will get even more slots, uber cool projects etc. If you are interested - either as a mentor or as a participant, please feel free to add your name, project ideas to the wiki page.

[Swift] Swift 2.2.2 released today
by John Dickinson 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Everyone, I'm happy to announce that today we have release Swift 2.2.2. (Yes, that's 2.2.2 on 2/2.) This release has a few very important features that came directly from production clusters. I recommend that you upgrade so you can take advantage of the new goodness. As always, you can upgrade to this version of Swift with zero end-user downtime. So what's so great in this release? Below are some highlights, but please read the full changelog at https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG * Data placement changes This release has several major changes to data placement in Swift in order to better handle different deployment patterns. First, with an unbalance-able ring, less partitions will move if the movement doesn't result in any better dispersion across failure domains. Also, empty (partition weight of zero) devices will no longer keep partitions after rebalancing when there is an unbalance-able ring. Second, the notion of "overload" has been added to Swift's rings. This allows devices to take some extra partitions (more than would normally be allowed by the device weight) so that smaller and unbalanced clusters will have less data movement between servers, zones, or regions if there is a failure in the cluster. Finally, rings have a new metric called "dispersion". This is the percentage of partitions in the ring that have too many replicas in a particular failure domain. For example, if you have three servers in a cluster but two replicas for a partition get placed onto the same server, that partition will count towards the dispersion metric. A lower value is better, and the value can be used to find the proper value for "overload". The overload and dispersion metrics have been exposed in the swift-ring-build CLI tools. See http://swift.openstack.org/overview_ring.html for more info on how data placement works now. * Improve container replication for large, out-of-date containers * Added console logging to swift-drive-audit * Changed retaliating to support whitelisting and blacklisting based on account metadata (sysmeta). Note that the existing config options continue to work. This release is the combined work of 20 developers, including 3 first-time Swift contributors: * Harshit Chitalia * Dhriti Shikhar * Nicolas Trangez Thank you to everyone who contributed: developers, support staff, and operators alike--all of whom helped find and diagnose the problems solved in this release. --John
